- Oh look everyone is talking about a Royal yacht and a secret wedding in the Sunday papers and not wallpaper, Matt Hancock, and deaths in care homes. I wonder how that happened?
- Reform are 92% funded by donations from the fossil fuel industry and 100% wrong. Cutting Net Zero Projects makes us less energy secure, increases your energy bills, cuts GB jobs and growth and destroys the planet.
- If Conservative Party Members can have an electronic vote to chose the next PM why do we have to show photographic identification to vote in the next general election?
- No hiding just how delighted both @EdwardJDavey and @RichardFoordLD were today. So nice to see the @LibDems winning again!
- The Lib Dems have almost a third of all the opposition seats in this Parliament and are rightly "pressing to clinch extra debate days and other parliamentary rights from the Conservatives" who are the smallest official opposition in modern times.
- If the PM’s official Twitter account says people are getting a ‘tax cut’ and that a tax calculator is available the link should not take you to the Conservatives web site requiring salary, name, email and post code for data harvesting purposes. @PrivacyMattersReplying to @RishiSunakCalculate your savings from our tax cut: taxcuts.conservatives.com
- A pleasure to photograph @helenhalcrow today in Parliament as she was sworn in as the new @LibDems MP for North Shropshire.
- A pleasure to photograph the @LibDems European Election Campaign Launch today. Generating some very good press already thanks to the professionalism and hard work of our HQ staff. Thank you!
- Ed Davey called for Britain to join the customs union by 2030… This was a genuinely significant speech, the first by any major UK party leader on Europe since the general election to…put detail on the otherwise vague language of “reset”.
- 💥”The Liberal Democrats are to call for the government to seek a formal customs union with the EU to boost growth and insulate the UK from the impacts of a Trump presidency, a move that will place new pressure on Keir Starmer over Europe.” Excellent!
- Delighted to help inflict what is a big defeat for the Government tonight on their flagship policy. The truth is not enough people on their side were motivated to turn up and vote.🚨 BREAKING: The House of Lords inflict the first defeat on Rishi Sunak's Rwanda bill 214 votes to 171 to delay the treaty
